> What IS it about Apple...?

I guess you haven't been around for the past 20-30 years? They're part of a culture war that they helped create surrounding Mac vs PC, iOS vs Android.

Steve Jobs even created these types of wars in-house. (e.g. the new Mac team vs everybody else - see The Pirates of Silicon Valley) Business is war.

People choose sides and they must defend their choice out of pride. It's like Ford vs Chevy.

Beyond that - Apple is very much against putting general computing freedom in the hands of users especially in iOS but also definitely in macOS. Lots of people hate a tyrant and don't want to work with them and will try to convince people who don't care about that to join them. And of course there are people who disagree.

So that's basically where you get all the anti/pro Apple argumentation.

Wow. Most of what you wrote would have to improve to be considered merely wrong.

Okay. I'm not wrong at all but I'll wait for your explanation as to why you think I'm wrong and also what the correct answer is in your opinion.

Without either of those, your comment is just noise.

Oh I see, you're the one asking the question - Pfft so, since you don't know the answer yourself I'd love to hear how you know that my answer is incorrect. I've only been around computer culture since the 70s when Apple was born... what could I possibly know?
